Back in April, I wrote about JoJo . . . and how I'm working at trying to overcome her car-riding discomfort.

Now that we're making regular trips up north to our cottage - a 2-hour + drive each way - I thought you might like a little . . . p'update.

(She looks a little sad, but she really wasn't; she was just waking up at a stoplight.)

JoJo is Much Improved -- and maybe even having a little fun. These days, JoJo is relaxed and engaged in the car -- and is even napping during the long drive. Best of all . . . no car sick issues! (Although we're still using the anti-car-sick meds, we're at a much reduced dose, and hope to have her completely weaned off the meds within the next couple of trips.)

And . . . BONUS . . . her adjustment to driving in the car . . . has spilled over into to riding in the boat!

Last year, JoJo was pretty much petrified on our pontoon boat.

But over the weekend, she was exploring and sniffing the fresh air, and generally checking everything out.

By the end of the summer (maybe even the end of June), she's going to be as excited to be up at the lake as Jenny!

When I was an early reader, I loved reading biographies of famous Americans. I used to hunt down any biographies on famous women Americans . . . but as you can imagine, the pickings were slim in the late 1960s/early 1970s. (I was limited...
